    I’m more curious about how the numbers will look after they nix 3rd party apps. There’s bound to be a dip after June 30.

      Are there a significant number of users using third party apps? Would be interesting to see.

        I’ve seen an overview from a popular sub a while ago, as far as I remember a third were using 3rd party apps at least part of the time. Many people use multiple ways to view Reddit though, apps on mobile, old Reddit in a tab at work etc.

        Last I saw they account for something around 10 000 0000 users. But that number is dwarfed by the official app.

          Yes, but many of the “power users” (ie, not lurkers who downloaded the official app because its the "official app) are the ones making content which drives enagement who are using 3rd party apps, as well as the majority of mods AFAIK.

          All we can do now is speculate until the price of API access pushes our 3rd party apps in July.
